Great to see HBO after dark in top form with these matches. Soto Karass & Jones both unofficially near 160 lbs 1st up. Man Jones reminds me of Paul Williams?!

Jones HUGE beltline noted by ref pre and Goosen making a bebate of it haha
They say Soto-Karass at 162 but he looks tiny compared? Jones really moving and boxing to start...Soto Karass coming in. Jabs exchanged...Karass really focused on body. Big right counter from Soto Karass and Jones with uppercut. Jones is going to have to assert power or Soto Karass can set pattern. Round Soto Karass here.
If anyone's got a non-sopcast link PM me please :cool:
I'm thinking either Donaire overwhelms him and looks great or leaves his chin out and gets KO'd. I picked the latter, not sure if I'm that confident about it though.
Round 2 begins the same...Jones sets down on combo and moves...Soto Karass missing jab...Soto Karass has bumpy right eye underneath?...Jones with right and slide out...Jab from Soto Karass off sets Jones and Jones punches out...Uppercut mixing for Jones well, flicking jab. Reclaim round for Jones, very well done...1-1
Was that cause by a butt?
Round 3 and activity has increased...Jones snapping jab and conscious to keep feet moving...big head butt and Soto Karass left eye cut and swollen, what new for him damn...Jones really moving out anf here we go, time called and checking cut in corner. I swear Soto Karass has no luck at all...face of crimson here and Jones sticking and moving...Soto Karass coming in and taunting Jones to trade...disapline round for Jones and 2-1 here. Soto Karass has to war and now.
they're gonna stop the fight.
c'mon
Bunch of crap in corner to start 4th round...need to see replay about cuts. Matter of which cut was caused by cut :rolleyes:
the fight resumes. great job by bayless
So sicj of incompetent refs....and the HBO dumbasses. Great work by the ref...yeah great work not watching the fight.
Instant replay is a MUST!! Soto Karass coming on strong and full of blood...Jones takes huge right hand and stands and slides out...Jones launching uppers and rights. Gooood round both!
Bayless is slippin lately but decent fight so far
kudos to karass for making it a fight.
Jones has really kept his head here, resisiting a brawl. Soto Karass steady coming but output wanes...Jones digs body but head left open...round Jones.
I mentioned Williams...to me Jones is showing what it is to box his height and smart jab here. Its early but nice execution of plan so far...Soto Karass is what a fighters fighter means. Not detoured and unfazed but simply cannot trap Jones after landing one or two good shots. Second half will tell alot of both and Soto Karass must go for broke, Round Jones..WAR MONTIEL :shotgun5lu8: ;D
Good fight plan by Jones. Circling. Working well behind his jabs.
Jones is clearly winning this fight.
His stamina is suspect though, this will be his first 12th round fight. He is conserving energy in this bout though.
Its all uphill for Soto Karass form here...must get a tko. Jones stick-move-stick-move...rinse and repeat. His stamina has held firm. Another round Jones. Starting to wish he would crank more on that power?
McKinney vs Barrera; e.p.i.c
Karass is feeling those bodyshots
left side of Karass' body is all red
Soto Karass is a bloody mess in the face but heart is on his sleeve. Tough SOB!! Headbutt at rounds end, big lump over Soto Karass left eye. Jones should go for close...
Karass has taken some mean body shots, I think they have taken a toll.
Maybe not tonight but down the road at some point....Soto Karass will have to be saved from himself. They can stop this
Jones uppercuts are fuckin tidy! :cool:
Karass is all bloody mess now
Hes done...stop this one
Karass got nothin to offer now. They should stop it.
Huhh He's still fightin
Looks like Jones gassed out a bit
Jones has fought a very smart fight, his conditioning is looking ok to me, he's still moving well.
Yep. Karass needs a hail mary punch
Jones is letting a unsteady and arm punching Soto Karass win last round...and Soto Karass is having a say too. Good fight, great gameplan from Jones and next step. Guys like Soto Karass make this a beautiful sport
I got 10-2 Jones
He is a tough SOB.
Jones was kept honest through out, that'll do him the world of good now...
Went pretty much how I thought it would. I really thinmk if that was ruled a headbutt, Goosen would have taken the No Contest. Should be a wide UD refs will probably have it like 10 rounds to 2.
Ever leave a Fosters can in the freezer for too long....boom! Nonito cut his hair off ;D
